Jordyn Woods Reacts to Kylie Jenner's Subtle Timothée Chalamet Nod
Kylie Jenner just threw an apparent shout-out to her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.
And her friend Jordyn Woods approves of the move.
After the Kylie Cosmetics founder shared mirror selfies of herself in a black bikini and cap bearing the logo of the Dune actor's favorite team the New York Knicks, her longtime pal commented, "ok Knicks hat," along with a fire emoji.
Jordyn, who has been dating Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns since 2020, later added, "Oh and of course body tooo," plus another fire emoji.
Kylie captioned her Instagram post, which also contains pics of herself wearing a strapless bodycon mini dress on a boat, "I love it here."
The 27-year-old shared the photos May 2, two days after she and Timothee were photographed at a Los Angeles Lakers home game. Kylie, who grew up in the LA area, packed on the PDA with her boyfriend, 29, in their front row seats.
Kylie and Jordyn, also 27, had officially restarted their friendship, which began when they were teenagers, in 2023 after years of estrangement.
In 2019, the Kardashian-Jenner family had effectively banished Jordyn after she had an intimate encounter with Tristan Thompson while he was in a relationship with Kylie's sister Khloe Kardashian. The NBA player and Good American Founder, who share daughter True Thompson, 7, and son Tatum Thompson, 2, have since broken up.
Kylie has said she was "heartbroken" about the rift with Jordyn.
"We’ve always tried to talk through things, so it’s never been a full cold-turkey cutoff; it was needed distance," she told Elle magazine in a cover story published in October. "Anytime something happened, good or bad, and I needed to call someone, it would always be her. To lose that person felt really lonely, but I had to go through that."
Kylie also said she "gained so much independence" during their time apart. "It helped me grow up a little bit," she continued, "because we were so attached at the hip. I think that in order for us both to grow, she needed to spread her wings and do what she needed to do as well."
Look back at Kylie and Jordyn's friendship over the years.
Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods met when they were in eighth grade through their mutual friend Jaden Smith.
"One day I got a phone call from one of my friends and they were like, 'Yeah, come over to Kylie's house. We all wanna hang out,'" Jordyn explained in a Buzzfeed interview.
Kylie continued telling their middle school meet-cute story, saying, "And she put her name in my phone and we just got closer and closer throughout the years and realized all we need is each other. Now we are our only friends!"
While Kylie was a cast member on one of TV's most popular reality shows from the age of 10, the duo acted just like any other teenagers would.
"We used to Segway everywhere," Kylie revealed. "I mean everywhere when we didn't have our license. Like we would Segway outside the community to, like, miles and miles to the mall."
Jordyn soon became an unofficial member of the Kardashian-Jenner family and part of their trusted inner circle, even landing invites to events such as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's 2014 wedding and Khloe Kardashian's 2019 baby shower.
The pair's bond was so solid that the pair held a commitment ceremony during their tripe to Peru that aired on E!'s Life of Kylie.
The purpose of the event, Kylie explained, was to demonstrate that their connection extended far beyond friendship.
"I want people to know we're more than that," she noted. "She's my girlfriend. I care for her like I care for my girlfriend."
During their ceremony, Jordyn vowed "to always be there" for Kylie, "through thick and thin." In turn, Kylie pledged "to encourage you, inspire you, love you, through all the good and bad times."
When Kylie landed her own spinoff, she immediately asked Jordyn to film with her. But the model was hesitant to step in front of the cameras for Life of Kylie.
"I didn't want to do the show at first," Jordyn told Refinery29 at the time. "But Kylie and I are a big part of each other's lives, so if it's about her life, I'm a key player, so I'm not gonna just not come around. I figured, being with her all the time is already my life, so we might as well do it.
While the experienced "turned out to be really fun," Woods did admit on Life With Kylie that her friendship with the star could sometimes be "draining."
"I actually feel like I'm in a full relationship with Kylie," she explained. "There are different types of relationships—we're definitely in one. Not necessarily sexual, but definitely emotional. It's draining sometimes. I don't want to say she's a needy girlfriend but..."
When Jordyn lost her father, sound engineer John Woods, to cancer, Kylie was there to support her friend through her grief.
"My Fire Ox, My Brother, My Soul Sister. Give Jordy & her family some support and prayers right now," Kylie wrote on Instagram after his passing. "I love you the long way @jordynwoods. The other half of me … When you cry I cry."
Kylie also donated $10,000 to a GoFundMe page set up to help the Woods family raise funds to pay for a memorial service and medical bills.
When Kylie suspected that she was expecting a baby just weeks into her romance with Travis Scott, it was Woods who was at her side when she took a pregnancy test.
"One day, I was in your mom's bathroom with her," Woods shared in an intimate 11-minute video Jenner created as a tribute to her daughter Stormi Webster, "and she took a little test...and then she passed it to me after, like, 'surprise.'"
And after Stormi's birth, Jordyn was there to help her BFF, even tagging along when mother and daughter traveled to Miami and Turks and Caicos.
"Jordyn is basically a third parent to Stormi," a source told E! News at the time, "and was her biggest supporter for all of Kylie's major life moments."
Kylie threw Jordyn not one, but two lavish 21st birthday celebrations, hosted in Miami and Los Angeles.
And the pair officially teamed up for the Jordyn Woods x Kylie Cosmetics makeup collaboration, with Jenner calling the partnership "special" in a social media tribute to her bestie.
"jordyn and i have had a true unmatchable relationship and i consider her family," she wrote on Instagram. "she's helped me remain ME throughout all these years and this is the first time we have collaborated on such a project! it has been so much fun and I'll cherish the memories forever!"
Kylie and Jordyn's friendship came to an abrupt end when it was reported that Tristan Thompson had cheated on Khloe Kardashian—with whom he shares daughter True Thompson, 5, and son Tatum Thompson, 11 months—with Woods at a house party.
Khloe broke up with Tristan amid the allegations, while the basketball player said in a now-deleted tweet that the report was "FAKE NEWS."
The cheating scandal was later depicted on E!'s Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
"Tristan, we've all known what he's capable of. Look what he did when I was 9 months pregnant," Khloe said on the show, referring to a 2018 report about her ex cheating on her with another woman just before she gave birth to True. "But I knew who he was. I never in a million years thought that's who she was."
Jordyn broke her silence about the cheating allegations when she appeared on family friend Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk and set the record straight about the night in question.
During the candid conversation, Jordyn admitted that she was drunk and alcohol was involved. But she made it clear that she never slept with Tristan.
"On the way out, he did kiss me," she explained. "No passion. It was like a kiss on the lips. I don't think he's wrong either because I allowed myself to be in that position and when alcohol is involved, people make dumb moves or people get caught up in the moment."
Ultimately, Jordyn stated she was "not the reason that Tristan and Khloe are not together."
But Jordyn did admit she was not completely honest with Kylie or Khloe when they first asked her about the rumors.
"I talked to Kylie and Khloe in the morning and told them I was there," she shared. "I was honest about being there but I wasn't honest about the actions that had taken place."
During the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reunion, Kylie reflected on the unexpected ending of her longtime relationship with Woods.
"When we were friends, we never thought that we wouldn't be friends," she explained. "It was kind of an overnight thing."
But during the special, Khloe encouraged her younger sister to bury the hatchet with Jordyn. "I don't care enough to ever hurt my sister," she explained.
After Jordyn posted a video in which she showcased her lips and said "thank you mom & dad for these genetics," some followers wondered if she was throwing shade at her former BFF.
However, the model was quick to set the record straight.
"There's no shade towards anyone," she replied to one commenter, explaining that her reasoning for the video was simple, "this is a trend I've seen a bunch of girls doing and I wanted to hop on."
It was the reunion that nearly broke the Internet. In July 2023, the two were spotted out together to dinner at West Hollywood's Sushi Park. The outing marked the first time the pair had been seen together publicly in more than four years.
And the following September, it was TikTok official.
Kylie and Jordyn confirmed their friendship was fully reestablished when the Kylie Cosmetics mogul posted a video of the duo on social media.
In footage set to Humming Urban Stereo's 2004 song "Banana Shake (Sped Up)," Jenner and Woods are seen visiting an Acne Studios store and taking selfies, before exiting the shop and climbing into a waiting vehicle as a crowd of lively fans stand nearby snapping photos.
The video marks the first footage the former besties have taken together in four years. Hatchet, consider thyself buried.
The pair reunited for another TikTok video with mutual friend Stassie Karanikolaou, parodying a 2023 Kardashians promo.
